On top of the five weeks, there are another dozen public holidays, and a maximum 35-hour work week, with no paid overtime allowed. Managers like Marchand, who work more than 35 hours a week, get more time off.

"The so-called 35-hour work week gives us 22 more days a year,"

France here I come.
I've read this too and am envious. Ebon speaks French nearly fluently but I'm a sad case, I'm afraid. That, and I don't look good in leggings and berets.
